at 7:25 a.m., president obama asks the country for another four years. >> you didn't elect me to tell you what you wanted to hear. you elected me to tell you the truth. >> this was not the kind of

speech that bill clinton made. it didn't have that little spark. >> do you think there's a reasonable chance that your husband could lose this election? >> absolutely not. >> the key august jobs report is just in. >> the unemployment rate dropped to 8.1% from 8.3%. the bad news is that only 96,000 jobs were created. this is not the hopeful number that the administration and the country was looking for. prince harry has arrived in afghanistan this morning to begin a new deployment to be on the frontlines facing the taliban. >> drew peterson found guilty of murdering his third wife kathleen savio. maximum sentence of 57 years in prison. two people in federal custody tonight after a hoax claiming a passenger on a flight was carrying a dangerous substance. the incident was a prank. >> this is where things tend to get a little ugly. >> oh, my goodness. look out. >> that's got to be in "sportscentre's" bottom 10, right? all that -- >> i love it.

>> i did it wrong. >> no, you did it perfect. >> all right. so what's the problem? enjoy your day. oh, and by the way, it's fashion week! >> it's a funny thing. i suspect the same thing with you. because -- >> and all that matters. >> easily the most emotional moment of the convention. >> gabby giffords led everyone in the pledge of allegiance last night. >> liberty and justice for all. >> on "cbs this morning." >> thank you. god bless you. and god bless these united states. >> barack obama accepting the nomination of the democratic party. and at the end of it threw down his mic and said, [ bleep ] all y'all. [ laughter ] welcome to "cbs this morning." with so much focus on the economy and this election this morning's jobs report for august is certain to get a lot of attention. >> the report came out about 90 minutes ago. rebecca jarvis is here. what do the numbers tell us

about how the i come is doing? >> the numbers tell us that the economy is creating fewer jobs than expected. in august, the economy added 96,000 new jobs. that was short of analyst forecasts, and the unemployment rate did drop from 8.3% from 8.1%, but it was not because of the new jobs. instead, unemployment fell because the labor force and participation in it shrank for the month. if you're not actively seeking work, you are not counted in the official jobless statistics. there are now 12.5 million unemployed americans. 5 million or 40% of them have been out of work for six months or more. so far this year the economy has created an average of 139,000 jobs a month. last year the number was slightly higher at 153,000 jobs. you need about 150,000 jobs a month just to keep up with population growth. and a number that economists would consider healthy would be more in the range of 200,000 jobs.

so where were the jobs created in august? well the service sector gained jobs while manufacturing, which has been a stronger segment of the economy, lost 15,000 jobs in august. and that certainly is going to be a concern for both the president as well as policy makers at the federal reserve, charlie, who are going to be looking at this number very carefully as they consider what to do next because they have their own form of unconventional stimulus. >> thank you, rebecca. now to charlotte. john dickerson is there. john, good morning. what are the political implications of these numbers? >> well you know in the convention here charlie, president clinton said you know, just wait, and you will feel the benefits of this economic turn-around that president obama has started. president obama last night called for patience, suggesting that the country was in the middle of a slow but upward movement. these numbers suggest the movement is not upward. if the jobs created are not keeping pace with inflation,

then things are being backward. this is bad news for president obama. and after this -- what had been a pretty successful convention they felt, this is just a big wet blanket right away. >> and john mitt romney put out a statement last night saying if last night was the party, this morning is the hangover. do you think the american people will give president obama some patience with these numbers? >> well, you know they have given him a little bit of patience. if you look at the grade people give him in the polls on his economic performance, it's much lower than the overall approval rating. so there are a number of theories for that. one is that voters like him, and therefore they are kind of willing to give him a second chance. but this drum beat has been rather steady. and so you know, this is the big question. will they give him the patience? and did he do anything over the last several days to try and get them to give him patience? and we just don't know yet. >> john dickerson, thank you very much. this morning, democrats are on their way home from charlotte after a pep talk and a plea from president obama.

>> in his convention speech he said that voters have the clearest choice of any time in a good mornin generation. nancy cordes is also in a charlotte this morning. good morning. >> reporter: the president had to lay out his accomplishments, explain his failures, go after his opponents and make a case for another four years. all while arguing that he had not abandoned that message of hope that got him elected four years ago. >> madame chairwoman delegates, i accept i accept your nomination for president of the united states. >> in >> reporter: in a 38-minute speech president obama argued with tough he had proven his mettle with decision tough decisions when faced with an economic crisis and foreign conflicts.nflicts. >> four years ago, i promised ton end the war in iraq. we did.

you might not be ready for jing if diplomacy with beijing if you olympic can't visit the olympics without insulting our closest ally. >> reporter: he acknowledged that his vision of hope and hope and c change has been battered a bit by the vagaries of politics.nize >> i recognize that times have changed changed since i first spoke to this convention. times have c times have changed, and so have i. i'm no longer just a candidate. i'm the president. >> reporter: and in the most speech personal moment of the speech he admitted he had not been a perfect president. pro >> and while i'm very proud of what we've achieved together i'm far more mindful of my own m failings knowing exactly what when he lincoln meant when he said i driven have been driven to my knees many times by the overwhelming io conviction that i had noplace else to go. >> reporter: it was clear that that th the president was trying to combine the lofty rhetoric he's

known for with a dose of realismbout about the state of the economy. the and norah and charlie, the s president laid out a number of goals in specific areas like he didn't education and energy but he didn't necessarily lay out a out road map for how he planned to se goa achieve those goals or how he h congress would work with congress more effectively in a second term. >> nancy cordes in charlotte. earlier this morning before the jobs numbers were released we spoke with former white house press secretary robert gibbs. he is now a senior adviser to the obama campaign. i began by asking him about criticism that the president's speech did not include enough specifics, spelling out how he wants to achieve his goals in his second term especially when you compare it to former president clinton's criticism of the republicans in his speech onrepu wednesday night.well here's what gibbs had to say.lie, >> well, first, charlie, i believe that the entire convention showed you where the democratic party and barack obama want to take this country. shows i think the speech showed that the live he understands the lives of middle class americans and what has to happen to give them more economic security.

and more national security in this ever-dangerous world. the president talked about ucation, improving our education, reducing our imported -- the that w amount of oil that we import. again, protecting us and keepinge here at us safe here at home.g and making sure that we have thehe best an best and brightest in our classrooms teaching our children teaching math and science. able to compete for the jobs of tomorrow.he >> but they are categories not specifics, in terms of how he morrow. would do that. how he would deal with those issues. sp well, two things, charlie. >> the president has talked about about number of these policies throughout this campaign.roughout t on energy and all of the above energy strategies the presidentfic was quite specific last night. t sure, we have to make sure that e're dri we are drilling for oil, but we have to invest in renewable energy. we have to make sure we're taking advantage of the natural gas that's just right under our educatio feet.hat and when it comes to education, let's provide incentives to have the best and brightest in our let's bu classrooms. i let's build more things here in america, create more jobs

manufacturing jobs. of let's build stuff here and let's sell more of it abroad. >> robert, there were some personal attacks, tough attacks, on mitt romney when it came to romne foreign policy where he said that romney and his running mate th are new to foreign policy and k to they want to turn us back to an era of blustering and blunderingring that cost america so dearly.go so persona why go so personal at mitt romney on that? >> well look i think you'd be thot hard-pressed for mitt romney noto to admit he's very new to foreign policy.reign policy and i think the president was exactly right.re y how are you going to deal with china when you can't even go to -- over to the united kingdom close without insulting our closest n ally on the eve of an olympics been p they've been preparing years look for? i think, look if you look at the romney foreign trip you would have great concerns about his exactly how mitt romney would conduct foreign policy in this country. not the least of which to mention -- >> but was it small, though for

usua a convention speech which is usually about bigger more to l visionary things to level such an attack like that? >> well look i think, norah, watc anybody who watched that speech nt tal understood that the president out the talked more about the american people than he did about himself or his opponent.ore than much more than mitt romney ever did in tampa. i don't think it's small. i think the american people understand how important it is to keep our country safe. how impo how important it is that we make sure that we keep our promises to end the war in iraq and do the same thing in bringing our ur troops home in afghanistan. and somebody who believes russiabody who is our greatest enemy rather than terrorists and al qaeda i think lacks an understanding of what's needed to keep this notion o country safe. his >> the president quoted lincoln and talked about the notion of lincoln being driven to his knees.ent what is it that drives to the president to his knees in terms of what he's experienced in the last four years and where he has not been able to do what he wanted to do? to >> well charlie, i think you can imagine that you know can ima

being president of the united he states during such severe st economic times is a humbling thing. thing. you know the president reads letters every night from americans all over the country that are struggling in this t economy.ut the president knows that we've made progress. but he understands that we've still got a long way to go. and it's up to him to do as he did last night, prevent a vision vision for moving the country forward. >> you seem to be suggesting that he knows he's disappointed.char >> well, charlie, this isn't 2008. we understand that. we've been through hopefully omic t economic times that the depths l h of which nobody else will have to go through. but we'll only do that if we ur really rebuild this economy and give our middle class some security. i think the president >> it' understands that -- >> it's incomplete? >> well it is incomplete as he his i said. he said in 2008 and he said it last night, none of this would be easy. he never said it would be.

>> robert gibbs, thank you so much. we have news from london this morning about prince harry. just two weeks after his naked picture scandal made headlines around the globe, the prince has returned to afghanistan with his army unit. he will be flying in helicopters on combat missions starting about 10 days from now.ions. mark phillips is in london with the story. mark, good morning. the >> reporter: good morning. well, prince harry has always argued there was no point training him unless he was going going to be deployed, and that's an as argument he has won.n he is back in afghanistan.ilitary the military here may argue that he's just another soldier, but of course he isn't. it's prince harry's second tour of duty in afghanistan. his posting and travel there arranged and carried out in secrecy for security reasons. harry's first fight has always been to get there. >> i've done my training. it's cost the army money to train me. and if they didn't think that they could get me out there again, they wouldn't have put me through this training. simple as that. >> reporter: but it's not that

simple. his last deployment has been cloaked in secrecy, a deal made with the british press to avoid harry and those fighting alongside him to become prime targets. making the prince a target would be a propaganda coup for the taliban. but the prince's cover was blown by an australian magazine. harry's tour of duty went from the frontlines to the front pages in hours. and harry became not a soldier, but an issue. should the third in line to the throne and such a high profile target be in an active war zone in the first place? as far as harry was concerned, the answer was yes. following the tour he threw himself back into training, rising to the rank of captain. on this tour he's captain wales, apache helicopter pilot. >> all of these people saying he's never going to see action never get to the frontlines. these people live in a

ridiculous world to even think that. i mean, we can't -- especially our army nowai days you can't train people and not put them in positions in the role they need to play. >> reporter: harry has other roles, of course. he may still be the privileged aristocrat, but he is one who can still get himself into trouble, as he did in the receipt las vegas strip pool incident. but he's also become part of the rebranding of the royal family. touring the caribbean as the queen's ambassador running with the fastest man on the planet embracing world leaders. prince harry became, who knew, prince charming. >> her majesty has asked me to extend her wishes to you all and is sorry you can't be here, so you're stuck with me. but don't worry, because every little thing is going to be all right. is the >> reporter: it's going to be s well all right, of course in the . second afghan tour.ce this there's a difference this time.e e this time everybody knows he's people there. like t

including the people who would most like to claim his scalp.t >> mark two quick questions. number one, is there any connection between going on he's alwa tour, even though he has always wanted to be there, and the ndal o scandal? >> well the scandal of course the is the obvious question. palace has and the palace has provided the obvious answer.swer. they say deployment like this has been in the works for a long time. it's not a direct result of las ult vegas. and it also gives them another way of rationalizing it. rat a soldier about to go into the field blowing off steam. >> but as you said also, everybody knows he's there, so some therefore there must be some kind of sense of we want to do n to g everything we can to give him an opportunity to be a warrior. at the same time, he is of the royal family. >> reporter: well, yes. but this time remember he is flying helicopters. last time he was there as an advance air controller on the ground potentially more vulnerable. now you don't know who's up in that helicopter. although if you're an apache crew in afghanistan, you might anista think people are looking out for you just that little bit more.k, thank >> mark, thank you very much. time now to show you some of the morning's headlines.eports t

[ laughter ] >> he nailed it, didn't he? >> he totally named it. clinton did go on for a bit, 48 minutes i think it was. but in some ways people are saying it did cast a shadow over obama's speech.

>> probably the most stirring speech to come out of there. all of those gestures. >> and people said the way he connected, yeah. >> it's almost like he is speaking to every person in the hall. wait a minute, wait a minute. i've got some more. >> exactly. >> 48 minutes more. welcome back to "cbs this morning." >> exactly. we'll try not to go 48 minutes with this story. by now you've probably heard about a major disturbance thursday at philadelphia international airport. a suspect was taken off a plane in handcuffs. but this morning, his former girlfriend and her new boyfriend could be facing charges. and as jim axelrod reports, it turned out to be a bizarre and mean spirited hoax. >> christopher shell was flying from philadelphia to dallas celebrating his 29th birthday. 30 minutes into the flight, the 69 passengers onboard the u.s. airways plane were told they were turning back. >> we heard the pilot tell us the passengers, that we were returning to philadelphia

because of an instrumentation problem. >> shell posted on facebook, quote, i'm pretty disappointed in u.s. airways currently. we just spent half an hour in the air to be notified that the plane had technical difficulties and had to fly back. but when the plane landed police rushed onboard and rushed shell out. >> with their uzis out. they came to a passenger and said, stay put. >> reporter: police were notified that there were explosives onboard. and an unwitting shell also posted that he walked through the security line with a breeze and that caught the fbi's attention. his ex-girlfriend's new boyfriend had made it all up. reportedly he had threatened to make shell's life miserable. and while police had shell facedown on the tarmac he told them, quote, i know what this is about. he produced texts and voicemails to prove it was all over a twisted lover's triangle. >> there was a threat. that threat was unfounded. that flight was never in any danger. and i just want to stress right

now that the male that was briefly taken in for investigation has committed no crime. >> reporter: well, maybe. hours later, shell boarded another flight to dallas his trouble seemingly behind him. but ironically on arrival, texas authorities also arrested the beleaguered traveller on unspecified outstanding warrants. for "cbs this morning," i'm jim axelrod in new york. senior correspondent john miller, a former fbi assistant director, is joining us now. so what's the status of this thing now? >> charlie, this thing is going to hell in a hand best. [ laughter ] >> love is complicated. >> it is. >> well i don't know where to go, you know. shell gets off the plane. he's the victim. he is selling his interviews for $1,000 a pop or exclusive to the highest bidder. but he was arrested by texas authorities for outstanding warrants for a series of crimes back here. so the victim is in custody.

the alleged perpetrator, who called the ops center and identified himself as george michael, should be expecting a knock at the door because i think the fbi is going to wake him up before he go-goes. >> what would they say? >> i think they'll say you're under arrest for violation of code which carries a maximum of five years in prison and fines that are very creative. there was a case just like this in philly in 2005. a woman is late for the plane. she forgot her passport. she doubles back to get it. she calls in a bomb threat to the plane to slow it down. and she was sentenced to one year in prison $9,000 fine and had to pay $100 to every person on that american airlines flight. so this is one of those cases where it might have seemed like a good idea at the time, but it probably won't in the end. >> right. don't joke around with this stuff. exactly. john miller, good to see you this morning. >> good to be back. from replacement referees to

♪ the new nfl season kicks off in the new nfl season kicks off in full this weekend. as always, there are many questions fans are looking to have answered here. to help us with that is james brown. jb, host of "the nfl today" on cbs. good morning. >> charlie good morning to you and norah. by the way you guys have been going through in effect two-a-days from last week to this week, so my hat is off to you guys. >> norah had one hour of sleep last night she told me when she came in. >> boy, i can't imagine that. >> nor can i. i got back early. here is the question that everybody wants to know. help us understand this whole business including what boomer

said about tebow and sanchez and where it is and how good it's going to be or not. >> my colleague on "the nfl today" boomer esiason was well quoted saying that he thought that tim tebow ought to be cut from the team because he feels he's not a good match for the new york jets. hey, charlie and norah, for the ongoing saga with the new york jets, which has been mostly off the field and everything but performance on the field, i have to believe that the brain trust knew what they were doing in bringing in tim tebow. last year, he was arguably the biggest story in the league. if not for his unorthodox style of play the fact that he was effective with the denver broncos. look, i think he's only going to push mark sanchez to a better performance. >> and so how will they make it work? >> well, you know it's been a well kept secret in terms of the jets not revealing how they are going to use him. the most widely thought thing is that it will be in the wildcat offense, an unorthodox style if you will, where the ball will be hiked to him and he will either run it or pass it as well.

obviously, not the best passer in the league. but he is a good football player. he is tough, tenacious, he is a good kid. i think they were bringing him there, again to use him as a weapon to try to throw the defenses off. >> jb let's talk about this new government study that came out this week that said retired football players are three to four times more likely to die from diseases of the brain compared with the general population. this is a big issue for the nfl, right? >> norah, a pretty sobering statistic to say the least. look, let's be real frank about it. everybody knows it. it is a very tough, brutal sport. i'm really happy to see an awful lot of attention on it, because norah, what's happening off the field with the ex-players many of them are not leading quality lives because of the number of issues, alzheimer's, dementia, et cetera, as a result of all of the concussions and hard hits on the football field. so i'm thrilled that there's a lot of focus on player safety right now. and roger goodell, the commissioner, is resolute in his focus to change the culture of

the game. >> what about referees? where does that stand? >> well, right now unsettled. if you look at wednesday night, there was no noticeable difference with the replacement referees against the giants and the cowboys. but i hope this is resolved. i think the best officials in the world are the regular officials. the replacement officials thus far have done a pretty good job. robert gibbs, your guest from earlier today, i see him here in the studio and he's not talking about the president's speech. he is grinning all over himself because his dallas cowboys won, and he had no complaints about the freighting. -- officiating. >> what does that say about this season, that the giants who had such a spectacular season, lose to the cowboys this early? >> it says that they lost to an awfully good team. in the nfc east which a number of people think is the toughest division in all of football, it will be the giants the cowboys and the philadelphia eagles. those are the three toughest teams. not surprised at all. tom coughlin has gotten it done

so many times when people have counted him out as dead. he has come back and gotten it done. i think they'll be ok. >> the early word from denver is that peyton manning looks very good. >> and, you know you would expect that. this guy is a true pro. 11-time pro bowler four-time mvp. if he is anywhere close to normal, charlie and norah, they will have a good team because the defense there is awfully solid. peyton is like a coach on the field. if he gets that team performing anywhere near as efficient as he did with the indianapolis colts during their heyday, they will be heard from. >> as we remember, they gave up tim tebow to go after peyton manning. >> not a bad move, i would would think, in the minds of bronco fans. >> i always think peyton manning looks good. [ laughter ] >> norah, my daughter told me to retire this expression. i'm a little too dark to blush, but i hear what you're saying. [ laughter ] >> thank you so much, jb.

>> hello, charlie rose. >> good morning again. >> norah o'donnell. >> president obama and vice president biden campaigned together in new hampshire and iowa later after primetime pitch to voters last night at the convention. >> in his speech last night the president talked about the challenges of his first term. he criticized his opponents and he asked for more time to finish the job he started. >> madam chair woman, delegates, i accept your nomination for president of the united states. our friends down in tampa at the republican convention were more than happy to talk about everything they think is wrong with america, but they didn't have much to say about how they'd make it right. they want your vote but they don't want you to know their plan, and that's because all they have to offer is the same prescriptions they've had for the last 30 years.

have a surplus, try a tax cut. deficit too high try another. feel a cold coming on take two tax cuts roll back some regulations, and call us in the morning. now i won't pretend the path i'm offering is quick or easy. i never have. you didn't elect me to tell you what you wanted to hear you elected me to tell you the truth. and the truth is it will take more than a few years for us to solve challenges that have built up over decades but know this america, our problems can be solved. our challenges can be met. the path we offer may be harder but it leads to a better place, and i'm asking you to choose that future. yes, our road is longer but we travel it together. we don't turn back. we leave no one behind.

we pull each other up. we draw strength from our victories, and we learn from our mistakes, but we keep our eye fixed on that distant horizon knowing the providence is with us and that we are surely blessed to be citizens of the greatest nation on earth. thank you. god bless you. may god bless these united states. [ cheers and applause ] here to analyze this speech is david remnick. he's editor of the new yorker magazine. we're pleased to have him here with us this morning. good morning. >> what did you think? >> as a speech i thought it was not number one in his hit parade, but by now we've become connoisseurs. we've become picky. not as good as 2004 maybe not as great as after the iowa caucuses. i thought it did the job. i thought it was solid. i thought overall the convention highlighted, exposed, what the republican party has become which is a

radical conservative party that demographically and ideologically is becoming increasingly out of touch. i think the republicans have a big, big problem as a result. >> doesn't the country expect the democrats to be more specific in terms of how they see the future? >> well i think it's very rare in a convention that you roll out a big policy initiative that is not known before. what you're trying to do is activate the base. you're trying to have all your surrogates make the big attack and arguments on ideological terms and political terms and then you have your guy. >> these are difficult times, david, as you know. >> unbelievably so. >> help us understand how we're going to get out of it. >> i think it's very important that obama shows us not out of the fray but somehow out of touch with the really hard economic realities that are going on in the country, but i think overall if you are assessing conventions, which was more successful, i think to me i may be exposing my politics

so what -- >> not at all. not at all. >> but it was -- you know there was no clint eastwideood moment there was no undisciplined moment and there were some surprisingly inspiring moments too. i thought john kerry was astonishingly good on foreign policy and on the vak u wousness on what republican orthodox is. john lewis may be the greatest american alive was great. there was nothing that was a failure. there was no down moment i thought, in this except for the -- >> the party over jerusalem and god. >> he used the word promise seven times in his speech compared to 2008 where he used the word promise 32 times. do you read anything into that david? >> not a lot. not a lot.

i think that we've become experts in barack obamology. it's been going on since 2004 and i think all of us when we were watching the speech last night were somehow expecting that it was like i was saying to you before it's like watching the nba all-star dunk contest. the first four dunks are really exciting, then after a while -- >> he can do it. >> we know he can deliver a speech. bill clinton we no longer see as often and he was spectacular. he has flaws, but we're now much more for giving of them. >> we played the clip where the president said you elected me to tell you the truth, but is that what people elected him for in 2008 or they elected him to change something? >> the argument is very simple. the bumper sticker argument for the election is gm is still alive and osama bin laden is dead. i think that was reflected in the convention a great deal. the notion that somehow anyone,

superman batman, much less barack obama was going to come in to this situation in near catastrophic depression and solve everything and that we'd have an unemployment rate of you know 4, 5% and that we'd all be living as if it were 1996 was a fantasy, always a fantasy. >> do you think things will be significantly different? >> i don't see the answer on the republican side. tax cuts tax cuts tax cuts for the wealthy. the coherence of the republican ideology is nowhere to be found. >> but do you think the president, if he is re-elected lected will be able to make a difference and deal with the republicans in a way that gets more results than he did in the first four years? >> governing even more than elections, isn't it? >> right. >> if the republicans continue to dig in their heels. if the notion is that the most important thing, the singular priority is to defeat embarrass, stifle a democratic president, then unfortunately the answer is no. it's going to be

putting off some ts putting off some things can be counter productive. this morning we'll show you why delaying gratification is good for your weight? true. that story right after the break. stay with us please. >> i like instant gratification. >> me too.

could play a role in how much you weigh later in life. a new study found that children who are able to delay gratification at age 4 had a lower body mass index or bmi 30 years later. the study started back in 1968 when about 650 four year olds were given a treat, such as a cookie or a marshmallow. they were then offered a second treat but only if they could wait to eat the first one for an unspecified period of time. follow-up studies found delaying gratification for a long time as a preschooler was associated with academic strength social competence playfulness, the ability to handle stress and even higher s.a.t. scores. fast forward 30 years and researchers made another interesting discovery. the ability to delay gratification is associated with a decrease in body mass index. each minute a child was able to delay predicted a .2 decrease in bmi. so practice a little

self-control and teach it to your kids. it could be worth the wait. i'm dr. holley phillips. >> announcer: cbh "healthwatch" sponsored by pfizer.

of is a very intimate narrative. it takes you through the odyssey of being diagnosed through to near the end, and it's just infused with extraordinary optimism and his hope that he might be cured but it's a very very kind of materialist look at what's involved in fighting this kind of battle a language he wouldn't like. he always said cancer is fighting me, i'm not fighting it. >> what's the phrase he used lying -- dying -- what was it livingly dying. >> dying livingly or livingly dying. >> yeah. meaning what? >> well, that he had to -- he had an enormous zeal and love of life. he adored every second of it. he had to continue living as if he might not be close to the end, but he also had to prepare to die and think about what that might mean. >> how long were you together?

trash, to rubbish. the world's rubbish. i went to san francisco where they recycle 75% of it and in new york you recycle 15% of it. you bury most of it you burn most of it. that is so dangerous. the effect upon our health is enormous. i thought, let's draw people's attention to this. >> we can change it how? >> we can change it by refusing to buy things that have too much packaging. leaving the packaging in the supermarket. let them clear it up. they'll pass the problem back. we can try not to travel things so much. we can purely recycle. i think 45% of the food we grow is thrown away. we can try and stop that. it's a terrible waste of resources. we can compost, as they do in san francisco. there are many many things we can do. a lot of the wine we drink out
